"What's Upsetting You Right Now?"

[Protoman Blues]

Well I'm glad you have a place to go back to. Still though that extra $2500 seems like horseshit. So sorry to hear all of this.

[Quickman]

At least there's home.  Moving sucks, particularly if one has to move right away (getting a day's notice to pack my stuff the last time I moved wasn't fun), but at least you have housing in the interim.  I'd suggest looking into a smaller place, an efficiency or studio.  Living with others isn't always a sure bet, and I've had many an experience in that field which fell through.

When one has their own apartment, one only has to rely on one person--oneself.

[Protoman Blues]

Or, you two can live TOGETHER!!!

But yeah, I eventually will be moving out. And by eventually, I mean when I have a decent enough 1st job to afford my own 1 bedroom apartment in this expensive as all hell city! Then, Godzilla posters & Classic MM bead-art sprites for the walls!

[Quickman]

My place is small, but we can make it work!

[Ahrzayl]

I'm sure but Pennsy is so far away and my mom would kill me if I moved out of state just yet. At least my sister doesnt have to come all this way to see me now. At least I have a valid reason to quit fye now. >.>

[Protoman Blues]

Hopefully you can find a much better job now, then! And yay for sisterly bonding.

Shame though, as you and Quickie would make great roomies! 

[Quickman]

And we're practically opposites in age.  32-23

[Ahrzayl]

Well, as long as she doesnt hate on me for liking Star Trek as much as she likes Star Wars. lol

[Quickman]

Nah, I'm cool with Star Trek.  DS9 is my favorite series.

[Ahrzayl]

Next Generation has my heart. Pretty much forever.

[Quickman]

Next Generation is such a close second that it may as well be tied.

Dammit, I need to get a TV and Netflix...

[Protoman Blues]

Next Gen & DS9 are just both so good. Hell I love the original series so much as well. Still trying to get through Voyager.

My brother's appendix has ruptured.

[Police Girl]

Damn, that sounds pretty bad.

[Sakura Leic]

My mom is heading for the hospital to check on him.

[Rin]

Crap.
I hope he'll be okay.

[Sakura Leic]

I hope so too, it also sucks since before this he got another girlfriend and went to a wedding.

Posted on: August 27, 2013, 07:13:55 PMHe has Peritonitis now.

[Quickman]

Eesh.  That's not good.  However, it's treatable.  Basically, once the appendix is removed, a drain will be put in, and he'll be on antibiotics for a while.  Peritonitis is painful, as it's an inflammation of the peritoneal membrane, but it's easily treatable.

[Sakura Leic]

That's good and it's at least the secondary cause of it.

[Quickman]

Basically what happened is when the appendix ruptured, it flooded the abdominal cavity with bacteria, which irritated the peritoneal lining.  Peritonitis is usually a secondary condition caused by the primary condition.  The abdominal cavity will be drained and the infection treated with antibiotics.  Depending on the infection, the incision may be left open, and need to be routinely cleaned and packed with gauze (called a "wick").  If the infection is relatively contained, though, a drain will be put in and the incision closed.  After about a week, the drain will be removed, along with the stitches.

[Sakura Leic]

My mom said something about septic too, that's pertaining to the draining right?

[Quickman]

"Septic" as in the infection?  If the infection enters the bloodstream, it can cause sepsis, which requires aggressive treatment with antibiotics.  If the infection is more or less contained, it shouldn't become septic, but the risk is present, particularly with appendix ruptures.  The appendix is a storehouse of bacteria.  When it ruptures, it spews out all that bacteria into a sterile abdominal cavity, and that bacteria loves to misbehave.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah I think it's infection but I guess that's normal with appendix bursting and stuff.

[Mirby]

Tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of my dad's suicide.

Whee.

[Sakura Leic]

My brother is finally in surgery.
